Belvoir castle

To get to Belvoir castle I had to get a train to Nottingham and then another to Bottesford. The walk was then about 70 minutes to the castle.

Bottesford parish church with one of the tallest spires in Leicestershire.
The inside of the church has a number of tombs with the Earls of Rutland buried here.
